I have been thinking about this issue, too. TomTom and Garmin Mobile XT are supposed to be good programs, but they have proprietary microSD cards which must reside in your phone. It would require a hack to put their maps onto your own card which I am not willing to do. Also, it constrains your ability to put lots of photos/music on your own card. It is not cool to be transferring those tiny cards in & out of the phone.
I have been told that Copilot 7, though it also ships with a card, allows you to transfer their maps to your own card. I have also been told that mgmaps.com has maps that can be copied wherever you like. I intend to try this when I have a free moment.
Don't forget to go to Programs>QuickGPS to download 7 days of satellite positions. This will allow your GPS chip to locate signals faster and should be done weekly. Some file structures place QuickGPS slightly differently. |
